“In analyzing their results, the researchers found that sitting
on a toilet, as most men well know, results in the least amount of
splash-back (the contact point is much closer). They also
discovered something likely few men have considered—that urine
follows what is known as the Plateau-Rayleigh instability—where a
pee stream breaks up into drops before striking something else.
That’s the worst thing that can happen, the team reports, because
each drop creates splash-back. To avoid that, men should stand as
close to the urinal as possible they advise. Also helpful is
directing the stream to hit the back of the urinal at a downward
angle. That creates less splash-back and the drops that do bounce,
head downwards into the urinal drain. Conversely, to prevent
messing one’s trousers (or angering neighbors) they suggest men not
spray directly into the urinal or into the pool that forms at the
bottom of the urinal, both cause a lot of splash-back.”—There
is video, but I have not watched it. I mean, no judgments if
that’s the kind of thing you’re into, but I gave it a
pass.#
